This was really great!! They always apply the Pharisees and other bad examples to Christendom, when in reality it apply fully to this man made religion!
@@ameliamoles-td4yo The Lord Jesus,would be kicked out and ostracised for contradicting those old men of the governing body and exposing their voracious appetite for money an all their false pretension of representing him have on earth.
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5 Jesus in FACT mentioned the FATHER IS GREATER than I am. JOhn 14:28. BEFORE he WAS SENT, the Father is ALSO GREATER than Jesus. Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 AFTER his resurrection the FATHER IS STILL GREATER than Jesus - WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
As a former Witness who (later on) rekindled my faith in God through Christ and the scriptures but without any organized, hierarchical, authoritative religion, I deeply appreciate this video. Jesus would eventually, and inevitably, clash with the governing body and authority structure pyramid underneath them one way or the other. His perfect mercy, compassion, love, grace and understanding that superseded formalistic rules, regulations, protocols, and punishments created by man-made religious institutions and their policies would lead to him being casted out as a heretic and vilified. I believe most organized religions today and their leaders would not tolerate any non-conformist whose love of neighbor and love of God is unrestrained by their rules and traditions and expectations. Even more so if the individual does not fear their authority and punishment. Many of us have family and friends who are still inside the Watchtower organization. Some may leave, only time will tell, but realistically many never will. For those of us who have managed to wake up and escape, it's liberating and relieving to have our own individual autonomy again. Those who maintain their faith and spirituality in whichever way works for them, I respect. Those who become atheist, I respect. Those who become agnostic, I respect. Each individual has the right to choose what works best for them personally. What matters most is that we all get to *decide for ourselves* what pathways and perspectives we will adopt, even if they are different or opposite to one another. Again, thank you for all that you do, Justin!
Brother... you hit it out of the park with this video! Great video man! During my waking up process it was these scriptures that clearly exposed the organization to being false. Almost every time I go over these scriptures you mentioned, it brings a tear to my eye. The scriptures clearly show what kind of love true followers of God and Christ should embrace and live by. What's wonderful about the scriptures is that it also clearly exposes the organization along with all other deceivers. I also love Jesus' answer when asked, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus clearly showed that our neighbor was anyone and everyone, and not just those of our own, etc. Thank you so much, Justin, for all the work you put into these videos to help people wake up! I appreciate you my brother!
@@exjwdiaries exactly! The literature by the organization is created all by design to mislead people. Because if it was truly aligned with the scriptures there would be no contradictions or anything taken out of context. God gave us the Bible as it is... Holy. It's blasphemous that the GB and the organization have inserted themselves into God's Word and even touched what should be untouched. Their literature not only complicates things, but misdirects and manipulates people's away from Christ and onto themselves. This is all by design and an evil genius structure that is not from God or Christ. The rabbit hole goes deep.
This was such a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing biblical truths; truths that sets us free. I plan to revisit this video again to refresh my memory of what true love really is. God bless you in every way.
You have articulated exactly what I havd been questioning for the longest time. The woman who touched Jesus' outer garment in desperation for a cure, has been my go-to example of Jesus' stance. Thank you for including all those other excellent examples. I agree with the comment above - you knocked it out of the park with this one". I think I will have to resurrect my note taking skills and re-listen to it. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! It’s funny how we read all these stories so many times at the meetings but never made the connection of how different Jesus treated people compared to how the organization told us to treat others.
Just to be clear, Jehovah is NOTHING like Jesus in personality/character. He is the devil Jesus alluded to when he rebuked the Hebrews/Israelites for worshipping their father the devil. John 8:44
@@morningglory9288 yeah, you can delude yourself all you like. You’ve been deceived or you’ve chosen to listen to Satan. It’s clear to me where Jesus got his kindness and love, from his father Jehovah. Deny Jesus’ father, you deny Jesus.
@user-tp9lc5gw3d Oh, okay. Take a look at these scriptures and then tell me Jehovah is not the devil. 2 Kings 1:10-12 Jehovah sent fire down from heaven killing 102 men because a captain Elijah to come down from his hill 2 Kings 2:23, 24 Jehovah sends 2 bears to tear apart 42 boys for making fun of Elisha Job 9: 23, 24 The innocent and the wicked are all the same to Jehovah. He destroys both the blameless and the wicked, he laughs at the death of the innocent. Isaiah 9:19 The fury of Jehovah sets land on fire, people become fuel for the fire, not a single person is spared. Isaiah 34:2 Jehovahs fury is enraged against the nation's, and all their armies. He completely destroys them dooming them to slaughter. Isaiah 13:18 The attacking armies shoot young men down with arrows. Jehovah has no mercy on helpless babies, and shows no compassion for children. Numbers 16:27- 33 Jehovah opens up the earth swallowing men and all their household alive. Numbers 21:5, 6 Jehovah sends poisonous snakes among the Israelites, biting and killing them for complaining from a lack of food. Jesus said in Luke 11:11 "What father among you, if a son asks for a fish, you will give him a snake?" (He was referring to Jehovah/Yahweh) Numbers chptr 31 Jehovah orders Moses to kill all the Midianites and burn all their towns and villages. Israelites capture women and children, 32,000 virgin girls to be reserved for the Israelite men to be used ax they please. Joshua 11:20 Jehovah deliberately hardens ths hearts over opposing nations of Israel forcing them into combat. The nation's were completely destroyed without mercy as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Leviticus 10:1-3 Jehovah devours two of Aaron's sons consumed by fire, for burning the wrong kind of fire of coals and incense in the incense burners. Exodus 32:27-29 Jehovah orders Moses to have the Levites kill their friends, relatives and neighbors. Around 3000 people were killed in a day. Does this God Jehovah seem like a loving compassionate God to you? Does he reflect Jesus' beautiful loving compassionate nature?
You are absolutely correct! Jesus would never, could never be a Witness! I left nearly two years ago because I learned of their blatant hypocrisy. The handling of CSA absolutely infuriated me, and I know it does Jesus as well. Yes, I do believe in Jesus, but not their “Jesus”.
Thanks for this video! Always insightful how you articulate the facts from the scriptures and putting meaning to how watchtower has misrepresented Christ.
I just love my new freedom. This morning, I woke up more grateful than usual and was blasting gospel music 🎶 you know that would've gotten me in big trouble with the elders😂
Hi Justin. Hope you're doing well. Yes I remember Jeron. Doing everything correctly for about two years while the Elders were looking for his publisher card. Disfellowshipped him and the three Elders didn't even their zoom cameras on while Jeron had his on. Bunch of cowards, I loved how the Elders (through holy spirit) reinstated an Apostate into the congregation. 😂😂.
It is a shame that every JW, elder, pioner, wife, husband, child, teenager, ministerial servant, C.O. etc could not listen to this. Anyone with a truth orientated heart, would simply walk away and never go back to a Kindom Hall again. I ,🙏 at least some will stumble by means of Gods spirit upon this.
Okay. First of all, I stopped and restarted your video so many times before. I finished it because you were making so many good points. And you are helping me too word. What? I need to say to my husband about leaving this religion. I couldn't really put it all into words. That's a thing. I'd there so much of it and so much to it. But thank you so much for this video. Because that will help me. And I'm gonna watch it several more times but that's going to help me to make a reply like they used to say. Make a reply to him.That has asked me why I no longer believe.Thank you so much for being here.Justin and I wish you all the success and continue making these great videos please
When I was in Bethel, many of my friends used to say that Jesus would be dismissed from Bethel. Jesus condemned the Pharisees because they used a code of conduct/rules to judge people's spirituality. Bethel is all about the rules, not compassion. The whole organization is about measuring your spiritual condition by how well you keep the rules!
@@MrMrmetroI remember a JW Brother who went to Bethel with in three months he was back left the WT organization never said a word why… till to this day I wonder 🤔mind you that was over 40 years ago !!!
💯🎯👍.... Justin i can't believe you started referring to many scriptural principles i already typed and was still in the process of typing more😊 While i was in JW Apostasy, i remained mostly pimo because they emphasized the weight of their publications over bible principles and adherence to highly idolized men that trumped over Jesus' teachings and life saving insights of Jehovah. I noticed that just like the pharisees, they completely suffocated the love, mercy and benevolent peace of the scriptures that Jesus summed up and taught. Just like some of what you had mentioned: "i want mercy and not sacrifice", " love your neighbor as yourself", "however i tell you to love your enemy", " do not lord over them as the nations do","the greatest among you shall be your servant","for it we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?". And we can't leave out Peter's question of forgiveness: "i tell you, not 7 times, but 77 times". The forgiveness would take place immediately after the wrongdoer asked forgiveness, not 6-12 months later after a secret,pharasaic tribunal lorded over arbitrary, man made criteria that totally violated the value of forgiveness. But the most glaring of all is how they completely devoided the value of Jehovah's ultimate sacrifice at John 3:16 . It was his free gift to anyone, anywhere that repented and believed in Jesus by living their life accordingly as individuals, not by forming organizations and subsequently adhering to man made doctrines and putting faith/trust in perishable, mere men that bible clearly warned the reader of. The free gift of Jesus' sacrifice can neither be earned, worked for, acquired through organizational adherence nor need be validated by humans. Just like when Jesus mentioned man "assisting" brother with splinter in eye, while the "loving assistant" had a beam in his own eye, only Jesus and Jehovah can correctly read our hearts and qualified to judge us as individuals. Ever since Jerusalem's temple was destroyed by the Romans,Apostle John died and great apostasy corrupted Biblical Christianity, it seems ludicrous that any human organization( claiming God's earthly channel),can even remotely be considered to exist before arrival of GOD's Kingdom on Earth. That's why he taught us pray for the kingdom on Earth, not human organizations. Also when factoring in Jesus clearly stating Satan is the ruler of the world, it's totally illogical that GOD's earthly channel would coexist simultaneously with Satan's kingdoms. Remember, Jehovah's Great Day is the Holy war that eliminates Satan's Earthly kingdoms, until then, no Earthly channel of our Father will exist. As individual God fearing Christians dispersed throughout this globe, all those that lived according to our Lord, have made up the body of Christ since the 1st century C.E. May we all pray, each one in their native language for Our Father's Kingdom to the Earth, so His will can be fully done, the way it was meant to be since the beginning of mankind. Peace.
Great video! If you read the parable of the “Prodigal Son,” in context, the son represents the lost son’s of Israel…they returned to Jehovah through Jesus. The older son represents the Scribes & Pharisees, they were jealous over the lost son returning & hated Jesus for exposing them. JW’s have no idea how to read their Bible’s in context!!!
Wow wow you have shown me what I was thinking but couldn't work out what was wrong with every thing and the clicky groups in the congratulation thank you
Awesome and great video Justin. You even used the bible (without taking it out of context) to show and prove that if Jesues were alive today , he definitely would NOT be a Jehovah's Witness. Don't know what religion he would choose, but it definitely would NOT be these guys, JWs. Keep the awesome videos coming Justin I loved watching them.
Wow excellent job bro, do you format all your discussions this well,, the way you Fitted Christ into this generation, absolutely excellent, can you do more like this?
Thank you brother. You can never go wrong. When in doubt about how to react or what to do, just ask yourself: "What would Jesus do?" You can't go wrong.
Excellent reasoning. ❤ I used to say to fellow Jdubs, if Jesus walked into a kingdom hall, the elders would shove a foot in his rear. A girl almost broke up with me for saying that in much gentler terms. But she found some other reason. 😂
The elders love I mean love the power they have and if they like you they will make it easier for you to come back but if just one a hole that doesn’t like you for what ever reason they will try to break you some how it tickles them and the power they wheel around no love what so ever and plus there are a lot of drunks and I’m taking about elders and ministerial these guys are drunks that disqualifies them right off the bat 😂Thank you for your time and dedication ❤ great work
Congrats on a very good video. I was kinda thinking you were going to comment on Jesus parable of The Good Samaritan, coz JWs definitely do not fit the bill ! What charity work do they do ? If anything (and it's very little) all they do is some disaster relief, and then almost exclusively for their own K.Halls. Unless they help some with insurances that they can claim back. Definitely worth a review, although they don't have much money/funds to help others with ????
There was a few stories I had in mind that didn’t make it in. This would have been over an hour long with everything I wanted to include. Another one was the “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus with oil.
@@exjwdiaries quite true, there's plenty there for another day. But I must say your angle was a good one and one I hadn't thought of so all credit to you and keep it up I enjoy your take
Jehovah's Witnesses have the backbone to go out preaching like Jesus did. Most Christian churches either entertain or ear tickle their followers, and they NEVER go out preaching. I was in Vegas for the super bowl and saw several groups of Jehovah's Witnesses they were clean-cut polite well-dressed
I don't know if you ever noticed that funny fact: A Watchtower compared "the slave" to the "older brother of the prodical". WT 15.07.1960,p.438 [Footnote (51)] But left it out in a similiar Watchtower article, WT 01.03.1981,p.27 ;-)
10 Ways Jesus Wouldn't Fit in with JW Structure 1. Standing Up to Religious Leaders Jesus often stood up to religious leaders, which would conflict with the Jehovah's Witnesses' expectation of not disagreeing with the governing body. 2. Emphasis on Universal Love Jesus displayed universal love and would likely help and encourage those who are disfellowshipped, contrary to JW practices. 3. Prioritizing Heart Over Appearances Jesus focused on the heart rather than outward appearances, while JWs often judge based on service and congregation positions. 4. Associating with 'Worldly' People Jesus associated with tax collectors and sinners, which would be frowned upon in the JW community. 5. Teaching in Synagogues on the Sabbath Jesus taught in synagogues on the Sabbath, showing flexibility that might not align with JW's structured practices. 6. Emphasis on Self-Love Jesus taught to love your neighbor as yourself, but many JWs struggle with understanding healthy self-love. 7. Helping Without Permission Jesus would help others without waiting for permission, unlike the structured approach of JWs. 8. Critiquing Hypocrisy Jesus often critiqued hypocrisy, which could be seen as challenging the JW leadership. 9. Focus on Core Commandments Jesus emphasized loving God and your neighbor as the most important commandments, which might conflict with the numerous rules in JW doctrine. 10. Flexibility in Ministry Jesus' ministry was flexible and inclusive, unlike the more rigid and exclusive practices of JWs.
If you had a Bible that only had the words of God and Jesus, you wouldn’t need a whole book… just a small pamphlet. I think they would be discussed at the actions done in their name.
For the record, Jesus never had a religion. I think the beginning of christianity in Antioch is the reason for all this confusion and religions which makes one religion feel superior over the other; especially when it comes to a lot of subdenominations in christianity. I'm an x-Jehovah's witness and know what i faced back then as a blind man as well. Socially, i faced discrimination. Even when it came to field service, no sister considered me good enough to work with; despite my progress in the "truth." This and a few other reasons is my reason why i haven't considered returning back to the fold. most of what you said in this video is true. Jesus would have had issues with many of this religion leaders if he were to be among us today because they wouldn't be able to cope with him and he wouldn't fit into their policies and rules. In short, as mere mortal, he would have long been disfellowshipped or politely put, "removed" as a witness.
This was difficult to listen to because it sounded like a 'Talk' at the KH 🤢. Also, I'm pretty sure the JWs would give Jesus the ick. It's just the natural reaction for those indoctrinated
@@exjwdiaries understood. I just realized that I'm not as healed as I thought. The cadence alone is enough to send me into panic mode. Well done, though. I appreciate your continued work and activism
You can find it on Google search trends. It’s also interesting to experiment with other terms like “leaving religion”. trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Religious%20trauma&hl=en
OMG, I have been thinking that Jesus was an Apostate for awhile now- you didn’t say it, but technically he was from his religion. That’s why they wanted to kill him- shut him up. Up in smoke!😢 I choose love like Jesus always.
@@exjwdiaries The Jesus of the Bible wouldn't have followed any of the abrahamic religions because none of those religions accurately represent the Jesus of the Bible.
So Justin, are you against religion? Religion is man's way to God. I pray you don't put everyone in the same box. I was a born-in Witness, and I can tell you, as you know, it takes a while to unplug from the JW mindset. However, it can be done. I'm a born again Christian. I love the Lord, not a religion. THANKS for all you do!
When I first left the JWs, I was very much against any and all organized religion. Today, after years of healing and recovery and finding my own beliefs, I no longer hold a grudge against religion but I also don’t think it’s a one size fits all situation. In some cases religion can hold you back from discovering new information and new perspectives that can add context to or advance your beliefs. In other cases, religion can be helpful to certain people. I think it largely depends on the individual and what they are seeking. I will try to explain more in a video I have coming up.
@@exjwdiariesI totally agree…I left the WT organization 40 years ago at that time I told my JW parents I was taking a Neutral stance towards all religions…God is the Reader of our Heart with that being said I leave it at that…my motto be True to Yourself…😊
Actually it’s not really soft shunning the only difference is you can say hi or you can call them and invite them to a meeting to the memorial I believe. They are still totally shunned
He totally would be a Jehovahs witness because all other religions teach he is God. And JWS teach the almighty is Jehovah god found in psalms 83:18 😂😂 i was like you once DISGRUNTLED because i was disfellowshipped as a teen for engaging in fornication which the bible condemns. Then in my early 20s went through a divorce which was devastating. Did TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION which i had no idea was SPIRITISM which jehovah detest. Came back to the truth in my late 20s SATAN AND HIS AGENTS were MAD . jehovah helped me an he blessed me with the love of my life been married for 22 yrs. In my forties now. YOUNG PERSONS NEVER LEAVE JEHOVAH YOU WILL REGRET IT LIKE ME ❤
But also know something; As Jesus said, "a kingdom or house divided against itself can never stand." Christianity is divided into several parts and cannot tolerate each other. TTo be factual, there's nowhere in the bible which states that Jesus was a catholic; Christ appostolic Church member;; Jehovah's witness; Ekanka; or even a member of the redeem church or even graille message member. It is we mere mortals that keeps segrigating and separating each other in Christianity today. We make one religion superceed the other and each religion have its doctrines and dogma. In any case, salvation is personal; and we should correct and reproof one another in love not by shunning each other because we feel the other person from a different religion is more inferior than those from a different religion and faith. By the time you push the alleged defaulter in your religion too deep into the "world" how then does that person see the need for repentance easily? You need to check on such a person from time to time to make him feel wanted and loved. That's the true essence of any faith or religion.
@@charlesmomodu9728 good point charles, there are so many religions with their own doctrines. Charles it is because satan wants worship. At 2Corinthians 4:4 he is the God of this world. So when a religion like eg. Catholics use idols an images in their worship they may think they serving God but satan gets the worship. Jehovah god found in psalms 83:18 has said in his word the bible donot bow down to idols Exodus 20:5. Speak with one of Jehovah's witness to find out more ❤
The jw organization is not the truth so please stop calling them the truth . He left a false religion . The organization is not God and leaving the jw organization is not leaving God
They use Isaiah 43:10 witch was addressed to Israel ( Isaiah 43:1 ) at that time according to Paul the gentiles where not part of the Nation of Israel. Ephesians 2: 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)- 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. ( Isaiah was way before the Union in Christ witch make who ever is in Christ a Cristian so a true christian is to be considered a witness for Jesus. ACTS 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ( Just my opinion )
Hey what about John 8:7 “Let those without sin cast the first stone”❤️🔥🔥✊🏾. JWs took that scripture OUT of the NWT. So when you go on their Bible, John chapter 8 only BEGINS at verse 12. There is no verses 1-11 🚩🚩 I think the Governing Body always took it OUT of the Bible so they can “prove” disfellowshipping is right 😂👎🏾
Interesting topic. I'm an ex-jw and never really clicked with Jesus when I was one. I found much of what is attributed to him in the Bible to be odd. It seems to me that many who leave the jw's become enamored with these words of Jesus, and to be fair, there are some nice words. But, they ignore troubling ones. Here are a few examples. He healed the man at the pool but ignored the others who were there. Not very nice, or fair. He sent a herd of pigs over a cliff, which belonged to someone. Not very nice. He killed Ananias and Saphira for a very minor infraction. Not nice, or merciful, or forgiving. In 2 peter, 2 thessalonians and Revelation he is described as genociding millions. I don't know what to make of it all. Were the manuscripts corrupted? I don't think Jesus was at all unique to saying wise and loving things.
I believe Justin is just using the Bible to highlight the qualities about Jesus as he was portrayed by the Biblical writers when alive because JWs seem to only focus on the destruction stories (all of Revelation & Old Testament, basically). I don't think he is a Bible believer, though? (I could be wrong ...)
Jesus was born and raised Jewish. The religious teachings of Jesus was reformed orthodox Judaism based on the Laws of Abraham and Moses. After two years of public preaching he was arrested and executed as a public nuisance by the Jewish and Roman authorities for stirring up the people during a period of political unrest. Forty years after his death the Roman Army Invaded Judea and destroyed The Jewish Temple leaving the followers of Jesus to split from Judaism and create a new religion called Christianity.
No cause the JW are not teaching the right doctrine of Jesus Christ . They believe he impaled on the stake , and that he is Michael the Archangel and have changed scriptures Exodus 3:14 and John 8 : 58 and there's many more.
BROTHERMAN, All the things you say that JEHOVAH WITNESSES claim to be, the most this and the most that, you forgot one, JEHOVAHS WITNESSES ARE THE ONLY ,RELIGION FULFILLING THE SCRIPTURES AT MATTHEW 24 v 14. NO OTHER RELIGION EVEN COME CLOSE TO ACQUIRING THE ABILITY TO FULFILL MATTHEW 24 v 14. THERE IS NO OTHER. Think about it? Jesus Christ gave his followers a command at Acts 1 v 8, " YOU MUST BE WITNESSES OF ME IN JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH, JEHOVAH WITNESSES OBEY IT, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? Do you know of any other religion doing it? Do you know that he who claim to know him yet they do not obey his commands is a liar and the truth is not in him?( 1 John 2 v 4 ) There are some Chinese people living near you, some of them speak Mandarin and others speak Cantonese, Jehovahs witnesses speak to them all in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? What about the Japanese and Vietnamese, and Korean Dutch etc? JEHOVAH WITNESSES speak to them all in their native tongue every single day. As we speak Jehovahs witnesses are paddling a canoe 100 miles up the Amazon River and hiking up the Andes mountain talking to all those remote villages in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? Please name another religion that Can? If you go to Zanzibar Peru, Ethiopia, SENEGAL Jamaica Guatemala Australia Equador Indonesia Belgium Turkey France Haiti, Canada Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Whales, Istanbul, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, China Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, Miami, Panama, Columbia Spain, France, St kitts and Nevis, St Thomas, India, Kragikstan, Argentina Uzbekistan anywhere you go, Jehovah witness are on the airport, in train stations, public parks and squares market places, shopping mall, while others go house to house not just ONE DAY A WEEK, but SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. Luke 10 v 1, Jesus called 70 and he sent them out in twos. Do you know any other religion that does that? The Prodigal son story still can't refute what 1 CORINTHIANS 5 v 11 to 13 says, and Jesus Christ himself puts it even more BLUNTLY at Matthew 10 v 34 to 38. Nice try! See how many people you can fool. I guess it will be easy for you to fool people in Christendom who has never made a VOW to jehovah. A VOW to JEHOVAH is not like a New years resolutions that people make knowing fully well that they are not going to keep it. IF YOU MAKE A VOW TO JEHOVAH, YOU BETTER KEEP IT Ecclestiastes 5 v 4, and DEUTERONOMY 23 v 21 to 23. If you Google any carnival, New yourk carnival, Toronto Carnival, Miami Carnival, Trinidad Carnival, just look at the conduct and behavior of the people. THOSE VERY SAME PEOPLE( without repentance,) ARE GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND SAY THEY ARE WORSHIPPING GOD.( Jeremiah 11 v 14). So nice try, but you are comparing the slack rules in CHRISTENDOM with GOD'S RIGHTEOUS STANDARDS. CANT WORK! Was Judas a person? Was there no LOVE FOR JUDAS? Was king Saul a person, wasn't there any love for him? ( 1 Samuel 16. ) POOR FELLOW, HAVE you ever read MATTHEW 10 v 11 to 15? Why don't you just go and start your own religion and do all the things you are saying? JEHOVAH WITNESSES wouldn't even know that you exis, never mind to waste time every day talking about you.
I appreciate your dedication my friend. However, your time is far too valuable to spend writing all of that to us so called “apostates” that you aren’t supposed to interact with. Even if you believe you will live forever, your time is precious. Far too precious for this. Peace and love ✌️
Jws don't obey Jesus command to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and they dont obey His command to eat the bread and drink the cup in remembrance of Me. Jesus did not command to go preach the good news of the kingdom. The apostles preached and teached about Jesus Christ
This was really great!! They always apply the Pharisees and other bad examples to Christendom, when in reality it apply fully to this man made religion!
They are definitely like the Pharisees
It proves Roman's 2:1 ..those who judge tend to do what they judge others for. You see it a lot in politics as well.
Wonderful discourse Justin , proving that Jesus would never be a Jehovahs Witness , their love is conditional .
Glad you enjoyed it!

The Lord Jesus,would be kicked out and ostracised for contradicting those old men of the governing body and exposing their voracious appetite for money an all their false pretension of representing him have on earth.
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE
From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
Jesus in FACT mentioned the FATHER IS GREATER than I am. JOhn 14:28. BEFORE he WAS SENT, the Father is ALSO GREATER than Jesus.
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27
AFTER his resurrection the FATHER IS STILL GREATER than Jesus - WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
Jesus is THE WITNESS OF GOD, and who is GOD ? JEHOVAH, OUR FATHER. Mal 2:10

Glad you liked it!
As a former Witness who (later on) rekindled my faith in God through Christ and the scriptures but without any organized, hierarchical, authoritative religion, I deeply appreciate this video.
Jesus would eventually, and inevitably, clash with the governing body and authority structure pyramid underneath them one way or the other. His perfect mercy, compassion, love, grace and understanding that superseded formalistic rules, regulations, protocols, and punishments created by man-made religious institutions and their policies would lead to him being casted out as a heretic and vilified.
I believe most organized religions today and their leaders would not tolerate any non-conformist whose love of neighbor and love of God is unrestrained by their rules and traditions and expectations. Even more so if the individual does not fear their authority and punishment.
Many of us have family and friends who are still inside the Watchtower organization. Some may leave, only time will tell, but realistically many never will. For those of us who have managed to wake up and escape, it's liberating and relieving to have our own individual autonomy again.
Those who maintain their faith and spirituality in whichever way works for them, I respect. Those who become atheist, I respect. Those who become agnostic, I respect. Each individual has the right to choose what works best for them personally. What matters most is that we all get to *decide for ourselves* what pathways and perspectives we will adopt, even if they are different or opposite to one another.
Again, thank you for all that you do, Justin!
100% Thank you so much for this.
@@IndoctrinationPurge well said. Now isn't that a shift, in itself, to live by the motto "live and let live". Xx
Brother... you hit it out of the park with this video! Great video man! During my waking up process it was these scriptures that clearly exposed the organization to being false. Almost every time I go over these scriptures you mentioned, it brings a tear to my eye. The scriptures clearly show what kind of love true followers of God and Christ should embrace and live by. What's wonderful about the scriptures is that it also clearly exposes the organization along with all other deceivers. I also love Jesus' answer when asked, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus clearly showed that our neighbor was anyone and everyone, and not just those of our own, etc. Thank you so much, Justin, for all the work you put into these videos to help people wake up! I appreciate you my brother!
Thank you! These type of scriptures show why the Watchtower frown upon studying the Bible without their study aids and interpretations.
@@exjwdiaries exactly! The literature by the organization is created all by design to mislead people. Because if it was truly aligned with the scriptures there would be no contradictions or anything taken out of context. God gave us the Bible as it is... Holy. It's blasphemous that the GB and the organization have inserted themselves into God's Word and even touched what should be untouched. Their literature not only complicates things, but misdirects and manipulates people's away from Christ and onto themselves. This is all by design and an evil genius structure that is not from God or Christ. The rabbit hole goes deep.
Everything you said was true. Thank you for opening my eyes. I have been feeling this way and I couldn’t articulate it better than this.
Glad it helped!
Great video! You have such excellent reasoning!
Excellent, thank you.
You are welcome!
This was such a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing biblical truths; truths that sets us free. I plan to revisit this video again to refresh my memory of what true love really is. God bless you in every way.
Glad it was helpful!
On point, thank you for this insightful video! ❤
Thank you!! 🙏
Interesting and important consideration indeed Justin!!👍
Thank you! Definitely something every JW should consider.
You have articulated exactly what I havd been questioning for the longest time. The woman who touched Jesus' outer garment in desperation for a cure, has been my go-to example of Jesus' stance. Thank you for including all those other excellent examples. I agree with the comment above - you knocked it out of the park with this one". I think I will have to resurrect my note taking skills and re-listen to it. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! It’s funny how we read all these stories so many times at the meetings but never made the connection of how different Jesus treated people compared to how the organization told us to treat others.
It’s because of my love for Jehovah and Jesus and what they conveyed that I left that organisation.
Just to be clear, Jehovah is NOTHING like Jesus in personality/character. He is the devil Jesus alluded to when he rebuked the Hebrews/Israelites for worshipping their father the devil. John 8:44
@@morningglory9288 yeah, you can delude yourself all you like. You’ve been deceived or you’ve chosen to listen to Satan. It’s clear to me where Jesus got his kindness and love, from his father Jehovah. Deny Jesus’ father, you deny Jesus.
@user-tp9lc5gw3d Oh, okay. Take a look at these scriptures and then tell me Jehovah is not the devil.
2 Kings 1:10-12 Jehovah sent fire down from heaven killing 102 men because a captain Elijah to come down from his hill
2 Kings 2:23, 24 Jehovah sends 2 bears to tear apart 42 boys for making fun of Elisha
Job 9: 23, 24 The innocent and the wicked are all the same to Jehovah. He destroys both the blameless and the wicked, he laughs at the death of the innocent.
Isaiah 9:19 The fury of Jehovah sets land on fire, people become fuel for the fire, not a single person is spared.
Isaiah 34:2 Jehovahs fury is enraged against the nation's, and all their armies. He completely destroys them dooming them to slaughter.
Isaiah 13:18 The attacking armies shoot young men down with arrows. Jehovah has no mercy on helpless babies, and shows no compassion for children.
Numbers 16:27- 33 Jehovah opens up the earth swallowing men and all their household alive.
Numbers 21:5, 6 Jehovah sends poisonous snakes among the Israelites, biting and killing them for complaining from a lack of food.
Jesus said in Luke 11:11 "What father among you, if a son asks for a fish, you will give him a snake?" (He was referring to Jehovah/Yahweh)
Numbers chptr 31 Jehovah orders Moses to kill all the Midianites and burn all their towns and villages. Israelites capture women and children, 32,000 virgin girls to be reserved for the Israelite men to be used ax they please.
Joshua 11:20 Jehovah deliberately hardens ths hearts over opposing nations of Israel forcing them into combat. The nation's were completely destroyed without mercy as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 10:1-3 Jehovah devours two of Aaron's sons consumed by fire, for burning the wrong kind of fire of coals and incense in the incense burners.
Exodus 32:27-29 Jehovah orders Moses to have the Levites kill their friends, relatives and neighbors. Around 3000 people were killed in a day.
Does this God Jehovah seem like a loving compassionate God to you? Does he reflect Jesus' beautiful loving compassionate nature?
@@CatB-r5c check out the Hebrew scriptures to see what kind of God Yahweh is.
@@CatB-r5c you're the one who's delusioned, as is the majority of Christians.
You are absolutely correct! Jesus would never, could never be a Witness! I left nearly two years ago because I learned of their blatant hypocrisy. The handling of CSA absolutely infuriated me, and I know it does Jesus as well. Yes, I do believe in Jesus, but not their “Jesus”.
His fathers name is Jehovah so what does that make him?
Thanks for this video! Always insightful how you articulate the facts from the scriptures and putting meaning to how watchtower has misrepresented Christ.
You are so welcome!
L O V E D THIS Justin!! ✨️ Excellent!! 👏 👏 👏

Wow! I appreciate that!
Well done brother!
Much appreciated!
I hope and pray the governing body watch and listen to this!!
I’m sure there’s people in Bethel sneaking to listen.

This was especially good..the comparison was so well thought provicating..great job justin❤
Thank you
Well said ❤
Great discourse,Justin.I truly appreciate it.Lot of healing in your speech.🙏
Thank you!
I just love my new freedom. This morning, I woke up more grateful than usual and was blasting gospel music 🎶 you know that would've gotten me in big trouble with the elders😂
That’s wonderful!
Same girly ❤
Hi Justin. Hope you're doing well. Yes I remember Jeron. Doing everything correctly for about two years while the Elders were looking for his publisher card. Disfellowshipped him and the three Elders didn't even their zoom cameras on while Jeron had his on. Bunch of cowards, I loved how the Elders (through holy spirit) reinstated an Apostate into the congregation. 😂😂.
His story alone would have woken me up
Being a Born in JW I felt something was missing in the WT organization…..”LOVE”…🤔😔🙁
Thank you Justin 💓👏💓
The thanks goes to you!
It is a shame that every JW, elder, pioner, wife, husband, child, teenager, ministerial servant, C.O. etc could not listen to this. Anyone with a truth orientated heart, would simply walk away and never go back to a Kindom Hall again. I ,🙏 at least some will stumble by means of Gods spirit upon this.
I wish. Although it’s hard to reach people with closed ears.
Wow, very nicely done video, thanks for your input, I like to see more videos in this category, with scriptures say about Jesus christ, 2 thumbs up,
Thank you! I will definitely do more scripture based videos in the future. Those are important for people just waking up.

Okay. First of all, I stopped and restarted your video so many times before. I finished it because you were making so many good points. And you are helping me too word. What? I need to say to my husband about leaving this religion. I couldn't really put it all into words. That's a thing. I'd there so much of it and so much to it. But thank you so much for this video. Because that will help me. And I'm gonna watch it several more times but that's going to help me to make a reply like they used to say. Make a reply to him.That has asked me why I no longer believe.Thank you so much for being here.Justin and I wish you all the success and continue making these great videos please
Wow thank you! Hopefully you will be able to break through to your husband. It’s always nice when couples wake up and leave together.
Outstanding, excellent, way to keep it 💯.
Thank you!
When I was in Bethel, many of my friends used to say that Jesus would be dismissed from Bethel. Jesus condemned the Pharisees because they used a code of conduct/rules to judge people's spirituality. Bethel is all about the rules, not compassion.
The whole organization is about measuring your spiritual condition by how well you keep the rules!
Wow! Very interesting to hear that was being said in Bethel!
@@exjwdiaries To clarify, there were a lot of Pharisees, and only the "little people" would say that. They were careful who they told!
@@MrMrmetroI remember a JW Brother who went to Bethel with in three months he was back left the WT organization never said a word why… till to this day I wonder 🤔mind you that was over 40 years ago !!!
Ironic how they had the Learn from the Great Teacher book......What do Jws learn from Jesus??? SMH
Awesome video Justin!
Great video!
Thanks!
Powerful! Justin this is one of your best. It was quite interesting to verbally put JW's to the test and view things as Jesus would.
If everyone thought the way you do, Justin, the whole world would be a better place!
Wow thank you!
AMEN
💯🎯👍.... Justin i can't believe you started referring to many scriptural principles i already typed and was still in the process of typing more😊
While i was in JW Apostasy, i remained mostly pimo because they emphasized the weight of their publications over bible principles and adherence to highly idolized men that trumped over Jesus' teachings and life saving insights of Jehovah.
I noticed that just like the pharisees, they completely suffocated the love, mercy and benevolent peace of the scriptures that Jesus summed up and taught.
Just like some of what you had mentioned: "i want mercy and not sacrifice", " love your neighbor as yourself", "however i tell you to love your enemy", " do not lord over them as the nations do","the greatest among you shall be your servant","for it we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?".
And we can't leave out Peter's question of forgiveness: "i tell you, not 7 times, but 77 times". The forgiveness would take place immediately after the wrongdoer asked forgiveness, not 6-12 months later after a secret,pharasaic tribunal lorded over arbitrary, man made criteria that totally violated the value of forgiveness.
But the most glaring of all is how they completely devoided the value of Jehovah's ultimate sacrifice at John 3:16 . It was his free gift to anyone, anywhere that repented and believed in Jesus by living their life accordingly as individuals, not by forming organizations and subsequently adhering to man made doctrines and putting faith/trust in perishable, mere men that bible clearly warned the reader of.
The free gift of Jesus' sacrifice can neither be earned, worked for, acquired through organizational adherence nor need be validated by humans. Just like when Jesus mentioned man "assisting" brother with splinter in eye, while the "loving assistant" had a beam in his own eye, only Jesus and Jehovah can correctly read our hearts and qualified to judge us as individuals.
Ever since Jerusalem's temple was destroyed by the Romans,Apostle John died and great apostasy corrupted Biblical Christianity, it seems ludicrous that any human organization( claiming God's earthly channel),can even remotely be considered to exist before arrival of GOD's Kingdom on Earth. That's why he taught us pray for the kingdom on Earth, not human organizations.
Also when factoring in Jesus clearly stating Satan is the ruler of the world, it's totally illogical that GOD's earthly channel would coexist simultaneously with Satan's kingdoms. Remember, Jehovah's Great Day is the Holy war that eliminates Satan's Earthly kingdoms, until then, no Earthly channel of our Father will exist.
As individual God fearing Christians dispersed throughout this globe, all those that lived according to our Lord, have made up the body of Christ since the 1st century C.E.
May we all pray, each one in their native language for Our Father's Kingdom to the Earth, so His will can be fully done, the way it was meant to be since the beginning of mankind. Peace.
Great video! If you read the parable of the “Prodigal Son,” in context, the son represents the lost son’s of Israel…they returned to Jehovah through Jesus. The older son represents the Scribes & Pharisees, they were jealous over the lost son returning & hated Jesus for exposing them. JW’s have no idea how to read their Bible’s in context!!!
Wow wow you have shown me what I was thinking but couldn't work out what was wrong with every thing and the clicky groups in the congratulation thank you
Awesome and great video Justin. You even used the bible (without taking it out of context) to show and prove that if Jesues were alive today , he definitely would NOT be a Jehovah's Witness. Don't know what religion he would choose, but it definitely would NOT be these guys, JWs. Keep the awesome videos coming Justin I loved watching them.
No way,Justin.Not a million years,He wouldn’t.
💯
Press those 👍 Thumbnails folks !! 😉
Wow excellent job bro, do you format all your discussions this well,, the way you Fitted Christ into this generation, absolutely excellent, can you do more like this?
Thank you brother. You can never go wrong. When in doubt about how to react or what to do, just ask yourself: "What would Jesus do?" You can't go wrong.
BRO!!! That’s the Gospel in a nutshell!!!
The Watchtower must have missed the memo 😂
Good Job bro
Excellent reasoning. ❤ I used to say to fellow Jdubs, if Jesus walked into a kingdom hall, the elders would shove a foot in his rear.
A girl almost broke up with me for saying that in much gentler terms. But she found some other reason. 😂
😂😂😂
The elders love I mean love the power they have and if they like you they will make it easier for you to come back but if just one a hole that doesn’t like you for what ever reason they will try to break you some how it tickles them and the power they wheel around no love what so ever and plus there are a lot of drunks and I’m taking about elders and ministerial these guys are drunks that disqualifies them right off the bat 😂Thank you for your time and dedication ❤ great work
Yes there’s far too many of them that love the power and control over people’s lives.
Ezekiel 34
❤❤❤
Congrats on a very good video. I was kinda thinking you were going to comment on Jesus parable of The Good Samaritan, coz JWs definitely do not fit the bill ! What charity work do they do ? If anything (and it's very little) all they do is some disaster relief, and then almost exclusively for their own K.Halls.
Unless they help some with insurances that they can claim back. Definitely worth a review, although they don't have much money/funds to help others with ????
There was a few stories I had in mind that didn’t make it in. This would have been over an hour long with everything I wanted to include. Another one was the “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus with oil.
@@exjwdiaries quite true, there's plenty there for another day. But I must say your angle was a good one and one I hadn't thought of so all credit to you and keep it up I enjoy your take
wow, ur are actualy a pastor ! good work.
Today, I had an elder call my place of residence and asked them to ask me to contact him. I am actually struggling to make contact with him/them.
Remember your boundaries. You don’t owe them anything. They are just men.
Since Jw's lie in Father and Jesus' nMes; how on earth could he be a jw...Its not possible.Greetings from Sydney
Jehovah's Witnesses have the backbone to go out preaching like Jesus did. Most Christian churches either entertain or ear tickle their followers, and they NEVER go out preaching. I was in Vegas for the super bowl and saw several groups of Jehovah's Witnesses they were clean-cut polite well-dressed
JESUS would have to deny HIS own deity in order to be a JW! HIS very nature could never do that!
I don't know if you ever noticed that funny fact:
A Watchtower compared "the slave" to the "older brother of the prodical".
WT 15.07.1960,p.438 [Footnote (51)]
But left it out in a similiar Watchtower article, WT 01.03.1981,p.27
;-)
I believe Jesus would have told the JWs straight just like he did the scribes and pharisees.
10 Ways Jesus Wouldn't Fit in with JW Structure
1. Standing Up to Religious Leaders
Jesus often stood up to religious leaders, which would conflict with the Jehovah's Witnesses' expectation of not disagreeing with the governing body.
2. Emphasis on Universal Love
Jesus displayed universal love and would likely help and encourage those who are disfellowshipped, contrary to JW practices.
3. Prioritizing Heart Over Appearances
Jesus focused on the heart rather than outward appearances, while JWs often judge based on service and congregation positions.
4. Associating with 'Worldly' People
Jesus associated with tax collectors and sinners, which would be frowned upon in the JW community.
5. Teaching in Synagogues on the Sabbath
Jesus taught in synagogues on the Sabbath, showing flexibility that might not align with JW's structured practices.
6. Emphasis on Self-Love
Jesus taught to love your neighbor as yourself, but many JWs struggle with understanding healthy self-love.
7. Helping Without Permission
Jesus would help others without waiting for permission, unlike the structured approach of JWs.
8. Critiquing Hypocrisy
Jesus often critiqued hypocrisy, which could be seen as challenging the JW leadership.
9. Focus on Core Commandments
Jesus emphasized loving God and your neighbor as the most important commandments, which might conflict with the numerous rules in JW doctrine.
10. Flexibility in Ministry
Jesus' ministry was flexible and inclusive, unlike the more rigid and exclusive practices of JWs.
Excellent summary!
I love Yehovah
Question: i wonder what Jehovah and Jesus think about the organisation of the Jehovahs witnesses and what they are doing today.
If you had a Bible that only had the words of God and Jesus, you wouldn’t need a whole book… just a small pamphlet. I think they would be discussed at the actions done in their name.
The Mormons say that too in their cult,they are the true religion. ( not)
He is the faithful and true witness for his Father Jehovah
Justin, my Pastor just talked about the woman in Luke yesterday.
Wow that’s awesome!
Hey Justin!! HOW ARE YOU AND THE FAMILY?
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 🙅
For the record, Jesus never had a religion. I think the beginning of christianity in Antioch is the reason for all this confusion and religions which makes one religion feel superior over the other; especially when it comes to a lot of subdenominations in christianity.
I'm an x-Jehovah's witness and know what i faced back then as a blind man as well.
Socially, i faced discrimination.
Even when it came to field service, no sister considered me good enough to work with; despite my progress in the "truth."
This and a few other reasons is my reason why i haven't considered returning back to the fold.
most of what you said in this video is true.
Jesus would have had issues with many of this religion leaders if he were to be among us today because they wouldn't be able to cope with him and he wouldn't fit into their policies and rules.
In short, as mere mortal, he would have long been disfellowshipped or politely put, "removed" as a witness.
This was difficult to listen to because it sounded like a 'Talk' at the KH 🤢. Also, I'm pretty sure the JWs would give Jesus the ick. It's just the natural reaction for those indoctrinated
Yep that was on purpose 👍 Sometimes you have to make things sound more familiar to JWs in order to reach them.
@@exjwdiaries understood. I just realized that I'm not as healed as I thought. The cadence alone is enough to send me into panic mode.
Well done, though. I appreciate your continued work and activism
My guy!!! I love the page..We have to join forces! How do I contact you?
My email is at the very end of every video! I would to hear from you!
Jesus would never shun someone. Absolutely not. Also, he wouldn't be associated with such confusion and wishy-washy behavior.

OMG, I have been thinking that Jesus was an Apostate for awhile now- you didn’t say it, but technically he was from his religion. That’s why they wanted to kill him- shut him up.
Up in smoke!😢
I choose love like Jesus always.
This is why i pulled away because i did not see Jesus in this religion even though he was supposed to be their exemplar
Hell no.
😂😂😂
@@exjwdiaries The Jesus of the Bible wouldn't have followed any of the abrahamic religions because none of those religions accurately represent the Jesus of the Bible.

So Justin, are you against religion? Religion is man's way to God. I pray you don't put everyone in the same box. I was a born-in Witness, and I can tell you, as you know, it takes a while to unplug from the JW mindset. However, it can be done. I'm a born again Christian. I love the Lord, not a religion. THANKS for all you do!
When I first left the JWs, I was very much against any and all organized religion. Today, after years of healing and recovery and finding my own beliefs, I no longer hold a grudge against religion but I also don’t think it’s a one size fits all situation. In some cases religion can hold you back from discovering new information and new perspectives that can add context to or advance your beliefs. In other cases, religion can be helpful to certain people. I think it largely depends on the individual and what they are seeking. I will try to explain more in a video I have coming up.
@@exjwdiariesI totally agree…I left the WT organization 40 years ago at that time I told my JW parents I was taking a Neutral stance towards all religions…God is the Reader of our Heart with that being said I leave it at that…my motto be True to Yourself…😊
Actually it’s not really soft shunning the only difference is you can say hi or you can call them and invite them to a meeting to the memorial I believe. They are still totally shunned
Yeshua would tell the governing body "So ya'll think im the arch angel Michael eh??
He totally would be a Jehovahs witness because all other religions teach he is God. And JWS teach the almighty is Jehovah god found in psalms 83:18 😂😂 i was like you once DISGRUNTLED because i was disfellowshipped as a teen for engaging in fornication which the bible condemns. Then in my early 20s went through a divorce which was devastating. Did TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION which i had no idea was SPIRITISM which jehovah detest. Came back to the truth in my late 20s SATAN AND HIS AGENTS were MAD . jehovah helped me an he blessed me with the love of my life been married for 22 yrs. In my forties now. YOUNG PERSONS NEVER LEAVE JEHOVAH YOU WILL REGRET IT LIKE ME ❤
But also know something; As Jesus said, "a kingdom or house divided against itself can never stand."
Christianity is divided into several parts and cannot tolerate each other.
TTo be factual, there's nowhere in the bible which states that Jesus was a catholic; Christ appostolic Church member;; Jehovah's witness; Ekanka; or even a member of the redeem church or even graille message member.
It is we mere mortals that keeps segrigating and separating each other in Christianity today.
We make one religion superceed the other and each religion have its doctrines and dogma.
In any case, salvation is personal; and we should correct and reproof one another in love not by shunning each other because we feel the other person from a different religion is more inferior than those from a different religion and faith.
By the time you push the alleged defaulter in your religion too deep into the "world" how then does that person see the need for repentance easily?
You need to check on such a person from time to time to make him feel wanted and loved. That's the true essence of any faith or religion.
@@charlesmomodu9728 good point charles, there are so many religions with their own doctrines. Charles it is because satan wants worship. At 2Corinthians 4:4 he is the God of this world. So when a religion like eg. Catholics use idols an images in their worship they may think they serving God but satan gets the worship. Jehovah god found in psalms 83:18 has said in his word the bible donot bow down to idols Exodus 20:5. Speak with one of Jehovah's witness to find out more ❤
The jw organization is not the truth so please stop calling them the truth . He left a false religion . The organization is not God and leaving the jw organization is not leaving God
Whys Jesus holding the jw tesaract like hes loki
No no. Jesus vil never be a jv dub.😅🤣
They use Isaiah 43:10 witch was addressed to Israel ( Isaiah 43:1 ) at that time according to Paul the gentiles where not part of the Nation of Israel. Ephesians 2: 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)- 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. ( Isaiah was way before the Union in Christ witch make who ever is in Christ a Cristian so a true christian is to be considered a witness for Jesus. ACTS 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ( Just my opinion )
Hey what about John 8:7 “Let those without sin cast the first stone”❤️🔥🔥✊🏾. JWs took that scripture OUT of the NWT. So when you go on their Bible, John chapter 8 only BEGINS at verse 12. There is no verses 1-11 🚩🚩
I think the Governing Body always took it OUT of the Bible so they can “prove” disfellowshipping is right 😂👎🏾
Interesting topic. I'm an ex-jw and never really clicked with Jesus when I was one. I found much of what is attributed to him in the Bible to be odd. It seems to me that many who leave the jw's become enamored with these words of Jesus, and to be fair, there are some nice words. But, they ignore troubling ones. Here are a few examples. He healed the man at the pool but ignored the others who were there. Not very nice, or fair. He sent a herd of pigs over a cliff, which belonged to someone. Not very nice. He killed Ananias and Saphira for a very minor infraction. Not nice, or merciful, or forgiving. In 2 peter, 2 thessalonians and Revelation he is described as genociding millions. I don't know what to make of it all. Were the manuscripts corrupted? I don't think Jesus was at all unique to saying wise and loving things.
I believe Justin is just using the Bible to highlight the qualities about Jesus as he was portrayed by the Biblical writers when alive because JWs seem to only focus on the destruction stories (all of Revelation & Old Testament, basically). I don't think he is a Bible believer, though? (I could be wrong ...)
Jesus Christ fathers name is Jehovah that would make him a witness of his father.
Rev, 1:5, Is Jesus a faithful witness of himself,? Ask John!
No jesus would not be A J W! Jesus never called God Jehovah or by any other name but only and always FATHER!
Jesus was born and raised Jewish. The religious teachings of Jesus was reformed orthodox Judaism based on the Laws of Abraham and Moses. After two years of public preaching he was arrested and executed as a public nuisance by the Jewish and Roman authorities for stirring up the people during a period of political unrest. Forty years after his death the Roman Army Invaded Judea and destroyed The Jewish Temple leaving the followers of Jesus to split from Judaism and create a new religion called Christianity.
Jesus is a baptist. Remember John the Baptist, Baptized him. It wasn’t John the catholic or John the Presbyterian.
No cause the JW are not teaching the right doctrine of Jesus Christ . They believe he impaled on the stake , and that he is Michael the Archangel and have changed scriptures Exodus 3:14 and John 8 : 58 and there's many more.
Nope that is not true
BROTHERMAN, All the things you say that JEHOVAH WITNESSES claim to be, the most this and the most that, you forgot one, JEHOVAHS WITNESSES ARE THE ONLY ,RELIGION FULFILLING THE SCRIPTURES AT MATTHEW 24 v 14. NO OTHER RELIGION EVEN COME CLOSE TO ACQUIRING THE ABILITY TO FULFILL MATTHEW 24 v 14. THERE IS NO OTHER. Think about it? Jesus Christ gave his followers a command at Acts 1 v 8, " YOU MUST BE WITNESSES OF ME IN JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH, JEHOVAH WITNESSES OBEY IT, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? Do you know of any other religion doing it? Do you know that he who claim to know him yet they do not obey his commands is a liar and the truth is not in him?( 1 John 2 v 4 ) There are some Chinese people living near you, some of them speak Mandarin and others speak Cantonese, Jehovahs witnesses speak to them all in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? What about the Japanese and Vietnamese, and Korean Dutch etc? JEHOVAH WITNESSES speak to them all in their native tongue every single day. As we speak Jehovahs witnesses are paddling a canoe 100 miles up the Amazon River and hiking up the Andes mountain talking to all those remote villages in their native tongue, DO YOU, or rather CAN YOU? Please name another religion that Can?
If you go to Zanzibar Peru, Ethiopia, SENEGAL Jamaica Guatemala Australia Equador Indonesia Belgium Turkey France Haiti, Canada Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Whales, Istanbul, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, China Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, Miami, Panama, Columbia Spain, France, St kitts and Nevis, St Thomas, India, Kragikstan, Argentina Uzbekistan anywhere you go, Jehovah witness are on the airport, in train stations, public parks and squares market places, shopping mall, while others go house to house not just ONE DAY A WEEK, but SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
Luke 10 v 1, Jesus called 70 and he sent them out in twos. Do you know any other religion that does that?
The Prodigal son story still can't refute what 1 CORINTHIANS 5 v 11 to 13 says, and Jesus Christ himself puts it even more BLUNTLY at Matthew 10 v 34 to 38. Nice try! See how many people you can fool.
I guess it will be easy for you to fool people in Christendom who has never made a VOW to jehovah. A VOW to JEHOVAH is not like a New years resolutions that people make knowing fully well that they are not going to keep it. IF YOU MAKE A VOW TO JEHOVAH, YOU BETTER KEEP IT Ecclestiastes 5 v 4, and DEUTERONOMY 23 v 21 to 23.
If you Google any carnival, New yourk carnival, Toronto Carnival, Miami Carnival, Trinidad Carnival, just look at the conduct and behavior of the people. THOSE VERY SAME PEOPLE( without repentance,) ARE GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND SAY THEY ARE WORSHIPPING GOD.( Jeremiah 11 v 14). So nice try, but you are comparing the slack rules in CHRISTENDOM with GOD'S RIGHTEOUS STANDARDS. CANT WORK!
Was Judas a person? Was there no LOVE FOR JUDAS? Was king Saul a person, wasn't there any love for him? ( 1 Samuel 16. )
POOR FELLOW, HAVE you ever read MATTHEW 10 v 11 to 15? Why don't you just go and start your own religion and do all the things you are saying? JEHOVAH WITNESSES wouldn't even know that you exis, never mind to waste time every day talking about you.
I appreciate your dedication my friend. However, your time is far too valuable to spend writing all of that to us so called “apostates” that you aren’t supposed to interact with. Even if you believe you will live forever, your time is precious. Far too precious for this. Peace and love ✌️
Jws don't obey Jesus command to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and they dont obey His command to eat the bread and drink the cup in remembrance of Me. Jesus did not command to go preach the good news of the kingdom. The apostles preached and teached about Jesus Christ
You might want to go back and watch this again because I think you missed the whole point
